Sure :) suggestions are welcome! :D

- Okay, I'll make a separate update.zip then ;)

- I just tried TouchPal Dialer and so far so good. It's a bit awkward since I'm used to the default dialer interface... but it looks good and it's packed with features. I'll give it a try for a few days to decide if to replace the default dialer/contacts with it or not ;). Thanks :).

- I've tried GO Launcher before, as I wanted it to replace LP, but since the ROM's main goal is speed, GO Launcher is slower than LP, so that's why LP is staying until I find a faster one :P. I prefer speed over features, whenever possible.

About the power widget errors, well, I haven't had the need to remove those buttons but I just tried to do so and found out what's going on (thanks!) so... yeah, you can say it's fixed in 0.3.7 ;).

I'm giving some apps and tweaks a try, as I plan to release it either this week or next one :D.

Also, GREAT FINDING on the 2D multitouch gallery! I was really missing those gestures :P however, it doesn't work neither with the patched Camera or with the original one, so I'd have to find out a way to make it work, as I -want- that gallery included in any version soon :P

Thanks for the support! =)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] catalin23x:
Thanks for the reply:

- Can't uninstall gallery and camera aps. how can I remove them in order to replace them with something better (from my point of view): eg. 3D gallery + 0.3.5 camera? :confused:

- How about allowing in the settings to change the number of columns and rows in display or... just keep the 4x4 display?! ;)

- The contancts app is not so usefull if you have lots of contacts because you'll have to drag to the letter you're searching for then inspect carefully the contact you want.

Anyhow, here is a sugestion: how about a fully naked ROM (it will be the FASTEST ROM) as anyone could install any desirable app? :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Hey :)

- There's no way to uninstall them, you need to use ADB to remount (adb remount) /system in rw mode and then remove /system/Camera.apk and /system/Gallery.apk and push a 3D Gallery APK and 0.3.5's Camera.apk in the same location!

- You can change that. In the home screen press MENU, then touch Preferences, and in Homescreen Settings in the last 3 options there's # of columns and rows which you can change.

- I do have lots of contacts and have to drag but if I want to search, the search button + typing does the job. I might replace it with TouchPal Dialer though.

Well the ROM's idea was to be barebones and naked but since installing the stuff I use over and over again became somewhat tiresome, I've ended up adding it the apps I use and consider should be in any phone as a stock install, since the stock Froyo install is missing basic stuff like a multi-protocol IM, a notepad or even a file manager, but hey, I could provide a "vanilla" version if there's enough request for it. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] catalin23x:
I will wait for your next release (0.3.7) as you said to exclude gallery + camera from the ROM's body ("vanilla" vers.) and include them separately in an update.zip.

Thanks one again for the fine work you're doing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] catalin23x:
What's new?

It is too quiet here (on this forum) considering the fastest ROM on the market. :)

Any more updates?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dhruvnukul:
downloading now will try this ROM today.

Wasn't Happy with Gingerbred .it is slow so going back

will let u know my first impressions.

Thanks @darkguy2008
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Hey, hehe, thanks ^_^!

Right now I'm testing the release vanilla 0.3.7 version before I upload it this week. I'm also in the process of creating the various update.zip files to install additional stuff as required. I'm also fighting with the notification widget buttons (2G/3G and Autorotate) 'cause they don't want to be toggled off :/.

So yeah, it's been a bit quiet 'cause I've been busy with family and trying to get a new job x_x but hey don't despair, it'll be out this week for sure :D

Sweet, good luck! hope you like it :D. Yeah, GB is slow :(.

Thanks a LOT guys, your support really means a lot to me :) it's what keeps this project alive! :D.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dhruvnukul:
Hi

i flashed ur ROM and its amazing.

Very smooth and fast i like it.

Thanks very much.:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DeuXGod:
Thank you for this awesome, fast and stable rom, had allot of fun all day long theming it as i like it :P

And it's still blazing fast :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Holy cow, that's AWESOME!. What's the theme & apps I see on the screenshots? I want I want! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] singa89:
wow that ics theme is really cool!!! whats the name??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DeuXGod:
The launcher is GoLauncher EX with ICS theme

The top bar i cooked my self to dark, changed icons and color, same for the colors of the rest of the frameworks (i can share a flashable zip if anyone wants a dark statusbar).

The keyboard is thumb keyboard with ICS theme

The clock is ICS clock free on market

Dialer is Go Dialer EX also with ICS theme

GO SMS with ICS theme also

Lockscreen is the widget locker also with ICS theme

Other changes i made was increasing the data partition with custom mtd, now has 312Mb to install apps. Added Google music, for streaming music from my google account. Overclocked it a bit also and changed font to roboto, the official font from ICS

Also added the ICS bootscreen and the Nexus prime ringtones :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stiker:
one things that's annoying me!:

i can't change the font size, it's very small in my opinion :( i tried to enlarged it in spare parts but i can't :( it returns to the small size!!

Otherwise very good work! very fast rom!! i think i may used it as my default rom :D

after coming from a sense rom 2.3 the speed difference it's magnificence!!

oh please share!! share all you want and you can(i mean it's free software)!

very nice look! forgive me if i put my phone with some of your ICS flavor :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Holy cow, that's friggin' AWESOME!. Can you please share the stuff you used? apps (if they're free), themes, wallpaper, sounds, fonts & bootscreen? I'll make a flashable update.zip out of it if you allow me! I'd love to have that kind of look in future versions :) (proper credit of course!).

Awesome! I'm glad you like the ROM :)

I'm working on an update.zip file to solve the fonts issue. The device runs at 135 density instead of 160, so that's why. It's like zooming everything out. Once you apply the patch fonts and everything will be as big as always, so, wait a little ;).

I second your opinion, I also want DeuXGod's settings & theme! :D

In another news...

0.3.7 IS RELEASED! ^_^

ONLY Vanilla version though. No added apps or wallpapers or anything, just plain barebones froyo. I'll be uploading the modified one around this week or next one - maximum. :D.

Happy flashing! ^^.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stiker:
thank you! i'll wait for the update ! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
update.ZIPs are out :) you can use them with 0.3.6, they're backwards-compatible! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stiker:
why no more dolphin browser?

and what about go contacts and go sms, i flash 3.7 and it's all stock :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Read a little more carefully :)

I think I made a mistake in the changelog though, which caused your confusion. My bad! :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stiker:
oh no problems! my bad. i allready install all the things i need :P

until now no problems in using :)

although i don't know if it's just impression, but with the the normal resolution the games seems a little bit slower but not that's a big of a deal.

good job :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DeuXGod:
I'll make a post later with what i can share and with link on the market for the payed apps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Awesome, looking forward to it!

I'm also trying to help to fix the signal issue with some help from badziewmax :) so one more bugfix will come out soon, maybe for 0.3.8. I'm also testing a few apps and figuring out how to pre-configure them for 0.3.7 modified release :D. I'm also trying to test new kernels and stuff to make the ROM even faster =).

Thanks for the support!! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Okay, I'm double posting. Blame me :P.

I've been working on this for like 5 hours from now (and damn, it's 5 in the morning and I should be sleeping >_>) but I couldn't sleep 'til I released this!:

I've released an Update 1 for 0.3.7. It's a FULL WIPE update and it's STOCK FROYO.

However, I'd like you guys to try a few stuff, just to check if the ROM works correctly:

Test the keyboard (it's HDPI now so there shouldn't be any transparent spots)

Test the market (changed it for HDPI version too, so no graphical errors, hopefully)

Test signal (I've replaced the libhtc_ril.so library, so you people with signal issues should try this update ASAP and report your results)

Increased performance (test games 'n touchscreen performance. It should be a little faster)

Test launcher (I've replaced LP with GO, so give it a try!)

Good luck and happy flashing! please share your experiences, I need them before releasing the fully-modded version!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
@darkguy2008: Why you don't update this amazing ROM to CM7.1 or latest 7.2RC0? I'll like to have this ROM but with this CM version. What you say? Also it's possible to share apps out of the ROM as a flasheable ZIP or some other method?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Actually, what makes this ROM fast is that it's based off CM6 (Froyo). CM7 is GingerBread and as such is slow as hell... if you want fast CM7 then try GingerYoshi, that's the fastest you can get on GB, and since I didn't like it, that's why I'm working on CM6 and not CM7.

Also, compiling CM7 takes a lot of time, work, and network (downloading +2 GB worth of code, anyone?) and with the kernel.org repo down, it's a harder task now I assume. I do want to make my own ROM off source code, but, maybe not in a long while, because I wanted to work with the froyo branch, and from what I've heard, it seems the google guys only backed up GB, HC and ICS instead of Froyo in their new official repo, which sucks (somebody correct me if I'm wrong!).

About the apps, yes, it's possible, and it's what I'm thinking, actually, instead of giving a full ROM. I was making some tests with those flashable update.ZIPs and since they work and are smaller I think I'm gonna end up using that for a while :P. Thanks! ^^.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
I didn't like GingerYoshi too :( and I'm not know much about cooking ROMs but if you want I can help you to get at least one release based on CM7 just for testing purpose, so how can I help you?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
It's secure to replace the bootanimation.zip in this ROM or any other?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Yes, as long as you do it on /data/local/bootanimation.zip. Worst thing can happen is displaying "CRONOS" instead of your bootanimation as a default fallback and what could've gone wrong are the permissions which you can fix with chmod 777 /data/local/bootanimation.zip. At least that's what I do.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
So the process is:

0) Make a nandroid

1) Install some kind of explorer with root permissions

2) Create a backup of bootanimation.zip ;)

3) Copy the downloaded bootanimation.zip to /data/local/bootanimation.zip

4) chmod 777 (from where Terminal or ADB :confused:)

5) Reboot :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DeuXGod:
Just backup the bootanimation.zip in your PC or SD card and replace it with the one that i provided using root explorer. Didn't had to do chmod 777, just mount the folder as writable on root explorer. Reboot and it should show up the ICS boot animation.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
WTF :confused: I'm doing something wrong but in /data/local I have only two folders /download and /tmp in which folder I need to copy bootanimation.zip :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DeuXGod:
On my data/local folder i have bootanimation.zip, 2 .sh files and a tmp folder. Should be fine... if you're using root explorer use menu/search and then write bootanimation.zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
Mine was in /system/media I'm using CGX 1.05 for now ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DeuXGod:
http://www.4shared.com/file/R_4Uqf-f/UOT-11-21-18-03-1.html

black statusbar with ICS similar icons and colors. Anyone can test it out if it's working? Didn't had time to test, but should be ok.

Don't forget to backup before flash.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zenga:
Hello

Market and keyboard are ok, but i prefer the prvious version. For me it's fast and smoother.

Going back.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jesusotero:
It's working fine, but it has a couple issues (for a perfectionist, of course, hehe). when it's applied, it changes the background color and size of the toggle buttons, which makes them blurry. changing the CM Extra options to set a custom notification dropdown color fixes this, but messes the colors of notifications, permanent notification backgrounds are white, and one time notifications (the ones that can be deleted) have a black background, so if you set the notification title color to white or black, it's not going to show on one of those.

That's only a minor issue, because you can set the notification title color to blue (or another color).

The thing that does bother me a bit, is the dropdown icon at the bottom, it changes after rebooting to the cyanogenmod robot on skate.

Is there any easy way to fix those issues?, (i'm guessing it's by modifying the settings .uot in the zip you posted.)

P.S: Thanks for the theme :P

P.P.S: I know it's a long post!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DeuXGod:
I'll take a look as soon as i can.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jesusotero:
Thanks :), i'll be trying to roll my own in the meantime.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LordGiotto:
Really great rom! Fast, smooth, clean!

Thankyou darkguy2008 ;)

I've got only a little problem: i can't find google maps into the market, i don't know why.

However, talking about "branding" your rom, i suggest you to not try to imitate ICS, but to use (or mod) a more elegant and clean theme, like Minimal Matte (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726912 , http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=965515). Obviously imho ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nooty90:
is that theme compatible with this rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nicholas86:
Market doesn't work! :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] catalin23x:
0.3.8 Installation Error

Success. I've managed to implement the ROM!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Thanks! :)

Yeah, me neither, I thought it was 'cause I'm in Venezuela and Google hates us, but no :/ I've set MarketEnabler to work with a better market with more apps. I still don't see it, but maybe you do now?

Also, thanks a lot for that theme! I really like it more than the ICS look (which isn't too bad either) so I'm gonna use it as the stock theme for the ROM :D

Yes and no, it needs a few tweaks, which I've made and it's included as the stock theme in the branded version I'll release in a while ^^.

I'm sorry, I can't help you in this case. This ROM does not support custom MTD... if you've read instructions (or even what a custom MTD is) you'd know you must, at least, learn how to revert the process. Since it's something very tricky which messes with the phone partitions I've decided to stay away from it so I don't know how to reverse it, you should've learnt how to first.

Also, you should've taken heed of the bold text in DeuXGod's post.

... And hey, the post itselfs tells you to flash your recovery again to remove the custom MTD :/

Yeah, it began to happen to me too for some weird reason on the branded version I'm working on... so I'll post a fixed version sometime today :P... that, or get into recovery, mount /system as rw and replace /system/app/Vending.apk (market) with an APK from any other ROM... which is what I've just did since I need the phone working for some stuff I need to do today x_X
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ad86:
The 0.3.8 Still frozen on the boot animation. I try the 0.3.7 u1, it's very smooth but I don't have the email application. Can you help me? Thank a lot for the great work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] catalin23x:
Success! I've restored the Standard Partition and uploaded the ROM.

Thanks once againe darkguy for the fine work you're doing!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Did you do a full wipe? Also, uh I don't use the email app, but it's okay, I'll include it as a stock app in a next update :)

Uh... no man, read a bit before asking for random stuff like somebody's gonna come out of nowhere with an one-click solution for you.

You need to reflash RECOVERY, not a Nandroid! If I recall correctly it should be through fasboot, "fastboot flash recovery MyRecoveryImage.img" ... but then again I don't even know if that does really work. Try to look for info on how to undo custom MTD.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ad86:
Yes I do a ohsaka superwipe and a full wipe.

Ok thank you and the alarm application is not include to.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Millence:
Custom mtd

I do not have HTC Magic any more but my friend asked me to 'fix' his. Since I had a couple of days to try out a few ROMs, I can say that I was not satisfied until I ran into FroyoDragon 0.3.8 :)

Small, elegant, faaaaaaastttt and so far stable! Exept 'Market' thingy.

BRAVO!!!!!

ABOUT CUSTOM MTD

Thanks to my previous experience with HTC MAGIC I managed to install this rom with custom partition layout. May not be supported but it is feasible! :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jesusotero:
Hello paisano :P, it's been a long time since i posted here, I was trying to test the new version you released, but it's stuck at boot.. (it's not a boot loop though, it just never finishes the first boot). i tried a couple things, like superwipe / repartitioning the sd, etc. but none worked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Hey guys,

This version looks interesting and I was thinking to try it, but I was curios if any of you can tell me if Airplane mode works fine. That's essential for me and I haven't been lucky so far with Gingerbread based ROMs.

I know this uses the same carz kernel so that's why I'm asking before.

Practically the Airplane mode problems stems from the fact that you set your phone in Airplane mode and wait for the phone to go to sleep (sometimes is not enough to just turn off the screen...wait longer) and the phone hangs. You will never be able to turn it on again unless you disconnect battery.

Please let me know...thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
That's awesome to know ^_^. Yay! Thanks :D

Well what comes to mind is that it could've been something related to the Market app. Try the new Vanilla 0.3.8 Update 1 and see if it works for you.

Also, I've had that happen too in my tests. Make sure you do wipe /boot, /data, /system and /sd-ext through ClockWorkMod Recovery v4.0.1.4. I've made an effort to have the ROM wipe everything just like CWM would, but it seems it's just not enough so just to be safe, wipe manually using that method and try again.

I've included Email.apk in the 0.3.8 U1 :). As far as I know, stock Froyo doesn't have any alarm app included by default, so that's why it's not included.

Hehe, I'm glad you like the ROM! =) thanks for the support! :). Yeah, the Market had gone bogus on me too. I've just fixed it in 0.3.8 Vanilla U1, which you can download right now :).

It's good to know the ROM works with custom MTD, however make sure to provide some help on how to redo it. Someone here had a similar problem where he flashed custom MTD and then couldn't find a way to redo it :/, and since I don't like to mess with the phone's partitions I couldn't help him much :/.

It's fixed in 0.3.8 Vanilla U1.

Hello mi pana! :P. Yeah, try the stuff I suggested to ad86, wiping manually through the recovery all those partitions and use the newly-uploaded 0.3.8 Vanilla U1 which should have those errors fixed now :).

Well, I've had to use the airplane mode a few times and I haven't had the phone die on me. Your phone may vary, but judging by my own experience I'd suggest you give it a try. I think that was related to the radio libraries but since GingerBread's HTC Radio libraries are compatible with Froyo and fix a few bugs, I think that issue has been been solved by accident :P

---

Okay now, I've just uploaded a new 0.3.8 UPDATE 1 which should fix the bugs 0.3.8 had. Remember to do a manual full wipe through your recovery (yes, including /data) and flash this new version.

I've also added the email app and updated Google Maps and the SMS Backup & Restore app. If everything is alright I'll work on the modified version then, no use working on it if the vanilla version doesn't work.

Thanks all for the constant support! you guys rock! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] johmir:
The latest version boots to the the disappering android screen and it hangs there and no more. Tried it twice with full wipe. Checked the logcat and it is stuck too, it's attached below.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cordas:
Very nice Rom, my Magic is better than new lol

Even before the 0.3.8 U1 I had also problems with the first boot hang.

I have carz recovery 4.

A full wipe and Superwipe didn't solve but with a 'system -w' erase and repeating the steps, I only had to overwrite the Vending.apk and everyting is working

Hope it helps all of you
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ad86:
I Had the same problem with 0.3.8
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
That's weird... the logcat doesn't show anything weird. It's strange because I do a full wipe and flash the version on my phone before releasing it so I make sure it works, but that confuses me :confused: there must be something you guys are doing that I'm not or visceversa :/

Did you try fastboot erase system -w ? or replacing Vending.apk through ADB while it's on the bootloop? (you can do so with adb remount and then adb push MyOldMarket.apk /system/app/Vending.apk).

Lol, that's good to know xD

Well that's weird but it's good to know it works. Can you please attach the Vending.apk you're using? So I can try to see if that could be the issue? thanks! :)

Were you able to solve it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] trabuko:
Hi, i'm about to try this ROM, did it have portuguese language?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Hi!. Yes it has Portuguese. Happy flashing!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ad86:
Sorry but I didn't solve it.
